Am shocked Meghan said this…

[Ndd135632]

She said: 'Even when Will and Kate came over and I was meeting her for the first time I remember I was in ripped jeans, I was bare foot, like I was a hugger, I have always been a hugger I didn't realise that is really jarring for a lot of Brits.'

'I started to understand that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside, that there is a forward facing way of being and then you close the door and thing OK we can relax now, but that formality carries over on both sides and that was surprising to me.'

What an utterly horrible thing to say about your sister and brother-in-law. I am done with her now. People are DIFFERENT Meghan. We are not all like you you you you.

My H and I are from different countries. I relied on him to explain the differences, since he was the one with knowledge of both. It was his responsibility to point out things I needed to know in advance if meeting his side, otherwise how would I have known? This is on Harry being totally inept.

It wasnt an insult at all

It just seems like a dripfeed of 'I'm so carefree, lovable, can do no wrong and they are stuffy uptight terrible people who are to blame for everything'.

Publicly going for your sister in law like that, why?

I agree that she never says anything outright that could 'get her into trouble'. It's just always little tidbits that on their own can't be used against them. I find it all incredibly manipulative tbh.

@MassiveSaladWithChristmasTrimmings prince charles as he was then walked her down the aisle
Many people don't go round hugging someone they have just met and you have zero proof its to do with her colour
40 isn't young either
That said she should of been warned by Harry how they behave

And here you are calling a woman a prize bitch. For what, saying something entirely innocuous about jeans and hugging?

Agree.

So disingenuous to pretend that slovenly attire is ok for a social gathering with people one hasn't yet me, especially if they are royals.

But they are family and it is a private occasion. Do you think Charles treated Elizabeth as the Queen or his mother?
I would not expect to treat my brother like future King, but as my brother. Any other suggestion is simply odd.

Exactly.

She didn't bother to educate herself at all.

The Crown is FICTION!

It does make me wonder if Harry even explained anything about his family and also she is telling things that are private and have no relevance
Im not shocked that they didn't jump and hug her on first meeting , every family is different and Im sure if she met the president of the us she wouldn't hug him or think that was expected , even of at a private function
Just seems Harry told her nothing

😂

😂😂😂😂

It is hard to follow irony sometimes isn't it, @healthadvice123

I agree it's on Harry. Sometimes you just don't think of what will matter for another culture so you don't know what to ask.

@Onnabugeisha its funny how people think the Crown is all real and actually take that as the truth and use that

@MassiveSaladWithChristmasTrimmings yes it is on here as some would generally put what you have

With reference to the threads about Ngozi Fulani and Susan Hussey, can someone tell me how moving someone's hair to read a name badge is assault, but full on hugging isn't?

All we’ve heard is her point of view. I bet that W&K were charming, welcoming and friendly and that she’s making stuff up projecting her feelings retrospectively. I don’t believe we’ll ever get the actual truth from her (as opposed to ‘her truth’) because she’s already been caught out in so many lies.

Oh, crawl out of the royals’ bums. They’re human beings, not deities, and in any case she was meeting them as “her boyfriend’s family” not “a state introduction”. I think I was barefoot and in fancy dress the first time I met my SIL. Ripped jeans and a jumper meeting my BIL in a skanky pub.

What has she really said wrong here? That she likes hugging and (some) Brits don’t? Some of you would pick a fight with a paper bag.

She has a DH problem here, not an in-law problem. He should have said if she was dressed wrong for the occasion.

You need to turn your irony meter on.

If I go to a country I read up on the cultural norms. I wouldn't go to Saudi Arabia and try to hug men for example. No I don't know many people who would hug a stranger unless pissed.

@antelopevalley they were not family then she was just one of Harrys girlfriend and yes prince Charles treated the queen as both his mother and the queen.
Why did Harry not tell her anything or what to expect like most normal people would

Do you understand the difference between meeting a stranger and meeting family?

Kate and William were sizing her up, that's all. They are probably full of laughs and hugs when they are with people they have grown to trust. She never proved them wrong exactly.

The three episodes reveal that Harry was always going to choose between her and the royals because she was never going to make an effort to fit in, only challenge and subtly criticize. I bet she dressed like that on purpose to meet them to flip the bird to royal protocols from the start and was disappointed that they ignored it or never noticed which is why she brings it up here. It is mean really.

What has she really said wrong here?

She never says anything that's actually 'wrong'. She says just enough to wind 'em up and watch 'em go, it's very deliberate.

It's a shame really, I used to really like Harry and Meghan.
